Only now, as he met Uriel's gaze, did Jiang Wang notice how deep and distant the old man's eyes were. His black pupils, dark as ink, seemed capable of drawing a person's mind inside them.
The man was probably skilled in eye techniques.
Thinking this, Jiang Wang deliberately looked away.
What Uriel had just said was truly shocking—and there was more than one reason why.
Whether it was the Great Marsh Tian Clan or the Green Badge elders, they shared one identity: they were all Qi people.
More importantly, to a certain extent, the Green Badges represented the Qi Court's law enforcement. Even though Uriel had retired, his past honors, merits, and reputation still bound him closely to the Green Badge system. He could not simply sever those ties.
Then why had Tian Huanwen tried to kill Uriel? And by assassination, no less!
Was the Great Marsh Tian Clan really full of madmen? Were they all as reckless as Tian Anping, killing whoever they pleased?
And why hadn't Uriel asked Jueming Island for help?
Even if he had retired, strictly speaking, he could no longer be considered a divine constable with a Green Badge at his waist. But if he went to Jueming Island to lodge a complaint, would Qi Xiao really stand by and watch him die?
Clearly, there was more to the matter than met the eye.
Truthfully, by this point, Jiang Wang already regretted it.

He was starting to doubt himself...
Was he really a clever man?
He shouldn't have heard any of this from Uriel...
Chongxuan Sheng was the very picture of a clever man in his mind. Earlier, he'd thought that if it had been Chongxuan Sheng, he would have immediately seen that someone else was behind the pursuit of Uriel. But
